The claim

The difference between the shoe print on the moon and photos of the soles of the space suit is intended to prove that the moon landing was a fake.

Our conclusion

The astronauts wore overshoes for the moonwalk.

On the one hand, according to conspiracy myths, NASA is fundamentally evil , but on the other hand, they are probably so stupid (like villains in cartoons) that they make the simplest mistakes that can be seen through very quickly - at least this is what people assume, the photos of a shoe print on the moon and an astronaut suit and believe that this has proven the “moon fake”.

The claim

Years ago, the claim was made that the difference between a photo of the sole and the shoe print on the moon proved that the moon landing never happened. Now the claim is being spread again:

The moonshoe print claim
The moonshoe print claim

Find the mistake: Neil Armstrong’s moon shoes in the museum and his famous footprint, ” writes the creator of the Facebook post. We found the mistake: It's not Neil Armstrong's shoe print, but Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin's (see HERE , image AS11-40-5877 ).

The solution to the puzzle: overshoes!

The photos being circulated include not only the famous shoe print (always mistakenly attributed to Neil Armstrong), but also photos of the first moonwalking spacesuit on display at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.

It's the difference in the soles that troubles conspiracy mythists: the shoe print in the moon sand has grooves, but the suit has flat soles with a circular surface.

However, the astronauts also wore overshoes, which HERE . And lo and behold: they have grooves on the soles!

And before anyone complains that these are shoes from the Apollo 17 mission: These shoes were also worn on the Apollo 11 mission (see HERE ).

Conclusion

The solution is as simple as it has always been known, just not mentioned: the astronauts' overall outfit consisted of more than just this suit called a spacesuit. The so-called Apollo A7L  was not one-piece, as one might quickly assume, but consisted of several parts, including overboots.

Fun fact: If you're ever on the moon, you can also take a look at the shoes directly: To save weight, the astronauts left the original shoes behind on the moon!
